Peacemaker Season 2: James Gunn Drops New Poster As Story Of 'Superman And The DCU Continues'; Trailer Out Soon

Overview

  • Gunn ruled that Aquaman’s infamous “f***ing fish” gag and a related cameo in Peacemaker season one are non-canonical and removable under a “DCU cut”
  • Existing Aquaman films are excluded from the DCU’s official canon absent significant timeline manipulation
  • Standalone Aquaman and Flash movies remain in development but will feature fresh actors rather than carry over previous portrayals
  • Creature Commandos and Gunn’s upcoming Superman feature are confirmed as foundational entries in the new DCU continuity
  • Jason Momoa will rejoin the rebooted universe not as Aquaman but as the mercenary Lobo in the Supergirl series
